Rooted in Persian heritage and gourmand indulgence, the fragrance launches in

LOS ANGELES, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Skylar announces the launch of Pomegranate Princess, a special fragrance release inspired by the world of Skylar's Chief Creative Officer, Leah Kateb. Following the debut of her first signature scent, Double Dates, the new release marks the next chapter in Kateb's evolving creative leadership, translating her cultural influences, modern femininity, and love of "smelling edible" into an evergreen addition to the Skylar portfolio.

Inspired by Kateb's Persian heritage and her reputation as the "people's princess," Pomegranate Princess reimagines pomegranate, a symbol of beauty, abundance, and femininity, through a playful yet polished gourmand lens. The fragrance pairs juicy pomegranate and ripe strawberry with a soft base of whipped frosting, delivering a scent that feels indulgent, approachable, and distinctly Skylar.

"Pomegranates have always meant more than just sweetness – they're a symbol of strength, abundance, beauty," said Kateb. "That's the spirit I poured into this fragrance. This isn't just a scent. It's a blessing. I can't wait for you all to love her as much as I do! Wishing you a sweet year. Love, Leah."

The launch thoughtfully coincides with Persian New Year, a time rooted in renewal, reflection, and celebration, reinforcing the fragrance's deeper symbolism and cultural resonance. Pomegranate Princess makes its Sephora debut on National Fragrance Day, March 21, offering fans a meaningful way to celebrate both the occasion and the joy of scent discovery.

Responding directly to consumer demand, Pomegranate Princess introduces Skylar's first-ever travel spray format, delivering a spray experience fans have long requested in a convenient, on-the-go size. The travel spray is accompanied by a limited-edition keychain accessory, allowing it to double as a stylish bag charm designed to securely hold the scent for easy portability.

"To watch Leah express her creative vision has been truly remarkable," said Ross Sklar, CEO of Starco Brands. "The combination of that, paired with the technical acumen and marketing capabilities of our team, is nothing short of trailblazing. From the record-breaking release of Double Dates to this launch of Pomegranate Princess we cannot be more excited for Skylar and this remarkable team."

Crafted with Skylar's signature clean-beauty standards, Pomegranate Princess is vegan, cruelty-free, hypoallergenic, and safe for sensitive skin – reflecting the brand's ongoing commitment to thoughtful, modern fragrance creation.
